We’ve got an old-fashioned NFC East showdown tonight on Monday Night Football. The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Redskins will battle with playoff hopes on the line.

The Redskins are 6-5 and need a win to keep pace with the Dallas Cowboys atop the NFC East. Washington looked like the division favorite until Alex Smith’s season-ending injury.

Philly, meanwhile, essentially saved its season with last week’s comeback win over the New York Giants. The Eagles are 5-6 and are looking at a must-win tonight.

ESPN has put out its prediction for the game. The FPI favors Philadelphia.

The computer gives the Eagles nearly 68 percent chance to win.

You can catch Eagles-Redskins at 8:15 p.m. ET from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
